| Jan 18, 2012 at 17:57 | comment | added | hippietrail | @Karlson: I heard that the US also requires photo licences. There may still be some places that issue licenses without a photo. | |

| Jan 18, 2012 at 17:12 | comment | added | Karlson | @PeterHahndorf The answer is simple if a counter clerk in the US can't read your name from the driver's license you need an International one. | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 16:00 | comment | added | Peter Hahndorf | @hippietrail - No answer to that questions covers the U.S. | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 15:27 | comment | added | hippietrail | For whether you need an international license or not see: Are international driving licences really necessary for any country? | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 13:57 | comment | added | Karlson | @PeterHahndorf National driver's license may not suffice. It may have to be an international one. And probably for Slavo it will not. | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 13:48 | comment | added | Peter Hahndorf | You are right, 25 is the standard age without any 'Age Differential Charge'. At Hertz you can rent a car at 20 but only certain types. Other companies may have even lower limits. | |
| Jan 18, 2012 at 13:29 | comment | added | jwenting | that age gone up? Was 21 when last I visited back in 2004 (at least for Hertz), or 18 if you were willing to pay for extra insurance. | |
